In Europe, the possibilities of low-energy architecture have been studied for several years and effective recommendations are given to optimize the costs of such construction and the further maintenance of buildings. A green living roof is one of the must-have recommendations.
Several innovative pilot projects have been implemented under this research program. The NuOffice office complex in Munich (Germany) turned out to be one of them. Interestingly, it was its LEED platinum certification that broke all records, that is, this complex was officially recognized as the most environmentally friendly and energy efficient in the world.
Building with an area of 35 thousand square meters. m consists of 3 buildings. Its living roof, like the roofs of most buildings in the area, is landscaped with drought-resistant plants. This allows rainwater to be absorbed without stressing the storm drain and prevents the roof surface from overheating in the heat.
Also, a living roof with vegetation increases power generation with the help of solar panels installed above. The uniqueness of the NuOffice project is also in the fact that the architectural concept was developed with the help of physicists and special computer programs. The windows in this office complex are located as efficiently as possible to reduce energy consumption, external roller shutters provide shading, and the ventilated facade is cladding with composite aluminum panels.
As for roof gardening, in this case, it is inexpensive compared to the capital costs of construction, and has many advantages. However, this is already understood in our country.
Germany remains one of the leading countries in terms of engineering innovations in rooftop landscaping. After all, it is there that the headquarters of the largest developers of system solutions for roofing landscaping are located, including the world leader, ZinCo. In Russia, its interests are represented by the roofing and landscape company "Tsinko RUS" from Moscow. And if you want to order design or construction using reliable German technology, be sure to contact the experts of this company. Contact information is posted on our website.
